Title Of Article :
Crop Rotation Systems For Sustainable Agriculture İn The GAP Region
Abstract :
Agricultural production depends on protecting and improving the soil while securing the economic production with sustainable practises. Plant rotation becomes the driving force behind these factors. Regardless of the agriculture practises either with irrigation, no-irrigation or high-moisture, monoculture plant production has serious negative effects on soil and plant productivity. Harran Plains in Şanlıurfa could ecologically support the production of a wide range of agricultural crops. This study evaluates the alternative crop rotation systems in this region. Wheat, barley and lentil was the primary crops in the monoculture system without irrigation. However, now, systems based on more than a single crop in a year have been established with the help of irrigation in the region. Adaptation studies have led to the production of easy-to-sell, exportable crops and vegetables.
